Your comment makes little sense (though you did help me out with /. comment buzzword bingo). Not knowing SQL doesn't cause things to be vulnerable to SQL injection (no one actually directly uses prepared queries--they use the API for that--so don't go there). Not properly securing the application utilizing SQL is what allows SQL injection.

I think the fact that the Westboro Baptist Church has been able to continue inflicting emotional pain against grieving families provides a counter example to such implementation in the US.

It's a jailable offense to believe the Holocaust didn't occur in many EU countries. As screwed up as the US is sometimes, at least it's not illegal to be ignorant.

It's the same gene that makes people loud, manipulative and greedy. So naturally, research should begin with politicians.

Supposedly, intelligence correlates strongly with liberal tendencies. Somehow I don't think we should all persistently imbibe to see if we can fix that little problem. The same applies to "curing" liberalism, as you put it.

BOA does this already if you're in the US.

I don't think this is an attempt to prevent interception of passwords in transit over the network; I believe it's an attempt to prevent keyloggers or other nefarious software/hardware on a machine from impacting the user's privacy.

I think this is a step in the right direction, assuming spoofing is difficult or impossible for these SMS messages (anyone care to weigh in there?). Still, my personal policy is to never login to a system which contains somewhat sensitive data from a computer that I don't fully control or whose controller I don't fully trust. Their solution seems like a workaround, while users could just stop any potential privacy violation at the source and opt not to provide their credentials via others' machines.

Kind of a different concept, since in this case the car (PS3) changes its oil/spark plugs/air filter (firmware) automatically, provided there's an internet connection.
